Primordial of the Abyssal Flame

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough to do anything. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

After losing her love and family by the hands of an ambitious and greedy man. And betrayed by the man she once trusted and left with grief that should have ended her, she instead builds something impossible: a settlement where people are fed, protected, and free.

Genshin Impact: I Wrote Fanfiction and Exposed the Secrets of the Gods

14-year-old socially awkward Lovia travels to Teyvat, but instead of a majestic Traveler, she becomes a rare species—a Melusine! Penniless and starving, this Melusine was on the verge of a pathetic end... until she decided to pull off a "literary heist"! Thus, "The Travels of Rex Lapis" was born, throwing Liyue Harbor into instant chaos! "This author truly understands the Lord of Geo!" "Is this considered blasphemy against the Emperor?" Zhongli held his teacup, lost in thought: "This perspective... hmm, quite novel." However, Lovia was just getting started: The name Morax conceals twin gods and a life-and-death pact. "The Lord of Geo and the Half-Price Bargain" The Agony of the Guardian Yakshas. The Secrets of Feiyun Commerce Guild. Dragonfall: I Am the Dragon King. The History of the Guizhong Altar: Wrath of the Gods. When her "fan fiction" accurately revealed the hidden truths of Liyue's legends, the entire nation was in turmoil! Finally, the socially awkward girl was found by a beautiful Melusine from Fontaine (her kin). "Sorry I'm late." The once lonely Lovia never imagined she would find a home. But years later, a distinguished guest with elegant features and amber eyes personally came to her door... Lovia (trembling): "Your Majesty... would you believe me if I said I made it all up?" Zhongli (putting down the book): "From a logical point of view, the story is quite intriguing. Perhaps we can... explore it in more depth?"

The Ugly Duckling Of The Tiger Tribe

A prideful snake who bowed to no one—until he became a jealous husband. A snow tiger beast warrior feared and respected, reduced to an obedient husband. A wolf known as a Casanova, who never stayed—until he chose loyalty. And a selfish merman who learned generosity for the first time, expecting nothing in return for his prized possession. All of them changed after meeting one woman... After sniffing in an impossible scent. Her name is Arinya. …And unfortunately for this world, that’s me, haha. *** I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, wanting to be my mate because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?

Welcome to Gehenna

[A Multi-POV epic fantasy adventure featuring a fully rendered artwork in every chapter! Updates every Friday] “We will find our siblings and we will save them. No matter what anyone says, they are alive,” Allen says, holding Jenna’s palms in a deathly tight grip, “You cannot lose hope. I beg of you.” After a hiking trip goes terribly wrong, and an ancient ritual causes the earth to open up beneath their feet, Allen, Jenna, Ana and Blake awaken to find themselves bloodied, bruised and torn apart in a world far too different from their own. Allen and Jenna enter a world where dinosaur-like creatures are real and a deathly fog envelops the region, threatening to put all who breathe it in for too long into a coma that can never be undone. Forcefully dragged into the sharp politics of the underground city of Uykuda upon arrival, the two must navigate their forced new roles while juggling the most important task of all—finding their lost siblings and going home. Meanwhile, Ana and Blake crash land into a forest teeming with daemons willing to eat anything or anyone to survive. Hindered by Blake’s broken arm, the two are forced to team up with a woman known as the Reaper in the hopes of being lead to a healer before Blake’s injury can get them killed… that is, if the Reaper, the kin-eaters or the monstrous beasts hidden deep within the caves don’t kill them first… And finally, on the other side of the world lives the clueless prince who caused this whole mess, living a life of bliss ignorance until the consequences of his actions finally catch up to him and suddenly that life of bliss has an end date that’s coming up fast. Can Allen and Jenna escape their ties to find their lost siblings? Can Ana and Blake survive long enough for that to happen? Can they find the clueless prince to reserve the damage he’s done before his timer runs out? You’ll have to read to find out…

Bound to the enemy Alpha

Warning Mature content - Rated 18+ I was born cursed—an omega in a world that worships strength. My pack despises me. My stepmother and stepsister humiliate me. The only one who’s ever shown me love is my father… but even his power couldn’t stop the treaty that bound me to enemy territory. To survive, I must attend Noctos Dominium Academy, a prestigious school ruled by the most dangerous pack in the region. And at its heart is him— Damien Blackwood, the enemy Alpha’s son. Cold. Ruthless. Tattooed sin wrapped in grey eyes that burn with violence. On my first day, he pulled me out of my car, slammed me against the hood, and promised he’d break me. I should hate him. And I do. But hatred has a taste, a burn in the veins that feels too much like desire. And no matter how much I fight it, his presence sparks something I can’t control. As tensions rise between our packs, more threats surface—hidden enemies, dark secrets, and shadows that want me dead. Three new boys enter my life: Kieran Vale – the golden rebel with a sharp tongue and dangerous smile. Flirtatious, reckless, yet with secrets buried deep. Malakai Draven – quiet, haunting, a genius with a tragic past. His intensity draws me in even when I try to resist. Lucien Thalor – A cold, mysterious prince with silver eyes and hidden depths. Each of them offers a different kind of danger, a different kind of temptation. Yet all roads lead back to Damien—the one I should never want, the one who embodies everything I was raised to despise. Trapped between duty and desire, love and hate, betrayal and loyalty, and an unknown enemy threatening the lands, I have to decide: Will I burn for the enemy Alpha, or will his hatred consume me whole? This isn’t just school. This is war. And I am the prize at the center of it all

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

[BL] Babysitting Beast Babies After Retiring As A Villainous Demon God

The demon beasts spent 1,000 years praying for the return of the sealed soul of their demon god, so he could save them from the wrath of the heavens and restore their glory. But when this demon god awakened from his seal, he casually declared: “Rebel against the heavens and lead a demon army to take over the world? Nah, that sounds like work. All I want to do now is rest. Officially retiring as the demon god!” ——— I died and woke up in a BL novel as the villainous demon god who died tragically. Well, obviously I’m not going to live through this stressful fate of being a demon god and dying. So I quit. I’m not going to get involved with this plot. I’m just going to be a salted fish and maybe find love in this land with hot men. [System notification: You can’t escape your fate without getting rid of the evil seeds you planted!] “Evil seeds I planted? What the fuck is that?” [The demon god created the 7 deadly sins in the world in the form of 5 ancient beast babies. And if they aren’t stopped, your tragic fate will reoccur!] Fuck. Now I’m left babysitting ancient beast babies who are somehow my babies. But that shouldn’t be too hard, right?! Baby Dragon: Gets angry and burns down the whole house. Baby Lion: Keeps making everyone an enemy. Baby Tiger: Steals everything available in the market. Baby Mermaid: Keeps making random strangers sleep with each other! Baby Cat: Sleeps all day while feeding on literally anything. "....." “Well, at least I have a supportive Phoenix husband to help me with the babies”—that would have been my thoughts if my husband wasn’t the same person this villainous demon god had tortured for years. The same man he had made his lab rat and slave! He probably wants me dead now. [System alert: The Phoenix is angry and might blow up in 10 hours! Coax him to prevent triggering your doom!] Huh? I also have to babysit my walking time-bomb Phoenix husband who wants to kill me every day?! ———— •Xianxia danmei x Beastworld •Married Couple •Older Master Shou x Younger Disciple Gong. •Fluff and Angst ©COVER NOT MINE
